2024 Best Graphic Novels for Children Reading List - Easy Readers

"Charming Graphic Novels for Transitioning from Picture Books to Chapter Books"—five stars —YA Bookcentral

In the tradition of Narwhal and Jelly, here is a playful and humorous graphic novel series about two besties who could not be more different from each other.

We know what you're thinking: Penguin and Panda should not be friends! The very idea is absurd! Penguin feels all the feels able to be felt, while Panda is low-key cool. Penguin loves surprises and being scared while Panda prefers a good nap. Penguin always follows directions; Panda plays things by ear. Yet these two yin and yang besties love experiencing the world through each other's eyes with abundant humor and a generosity of spirit.

The stories often convey positive messages about imagination, creativity, friendship, acceptance, and the value of being true to oneself.

Each book contains four short stories, and some STEM-related fun facts. This format allows young readers to easily digest the content and provides natural stopping points for reading sessions.

Fanni Mezes’ charming illustrations, filled with expressive characters immediately draw the readers to dive into Penguin and Panda’s playful world.

The language used in the series is accessible and appropriate for early readers, making it a great choice for children who are developing their reading skills.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Brenda Maier is a children’s author, gifted education specialist, and mother of five not-so-little offspring who now range from high school to grad school. As a child, Brenda never thought she could attend college; because of that, she loves sharing the story of how she made her own dreams of being a teacher and author come true.

Brenda currently teaches at a public school and is a board member of OAGCT, the Oklahoma affiliate of the National Association for Gifted Children. Among her books are the picture book folktale retellings THE LITTLE RED FORT, THE LITTLE BLUE BRIDGE, and THE LITTLE GREEN SWING and the early graphic chapter book series THE ADVENTURES OF PENGUIN AND PANDA. She lives in Northeast Oklahoma with her family and enjoys visiting classrooms around the country to share her passion for reading, writing, and goal-setting. Her hobbies include tricking kids into thinking for themselves, reading way past her bedtime, and dragging her husband and kids to places they’ve never been, whether they want to go or not.
Chasing for Unicorns is her fifth Penguin and Panda Adventure, following Surprise!, Fun & Games, Winterfest and In the Dark.
